Abstract
An electronic device includes a substrate, a data line disposed on the substrate, a drain disposed on the substrate and a semiconductor layer disposed on the substrate. The semiconductor layer includes a first portion connected to the data line, a second portion connected to the drain, and a third portion connected between the first portion and the second portion. At least one portion of the third portion includes at least one of IIIA group element and VA group element, and the doping concentration of the at least one of IIIA group element and VA group element is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 10{circumflex over ( )}16 atoms/cm 3 .
